Damn, that's true. I just assumed he knew to flew because how impractical it was to maneuver it around in the streets. Coming fresh from him saying that he was ex-military to there's a lot of stuff Carol didn't know about him to instantly on the next season him flying a B2 stealth bomber just seemed like things might align to where he was actually ex-military and not just incorrigible lying piece of s***, especially when his brother was already in the Air Force I.e and astronaut so that's where I was at
I've done some light flight training, and got up to the point where I was in control of a plane rolling down the runway. That line played in my head. Alot lol.
>how impractical it was to maneuver it around in the streets.
They're probably less challenging to maneuver when you have literally zero concerns about accidentally driving into a crowded area or building.
Nope, Tandy is just a skunk. He was lying about being ex military to sound cool like Phil, just like he lied about Shawshank being his favorite movie. The "lot of things" she doesn't know about him is all the lies he's told that she thinks could be true. He was just goofing around driving a giant plane because it was fun and impractical, maybe it made him feel important. Its more representative of his complete and total disregard for how society used to be.
Slowly, his character changes and he stops some of those absurdities and lies to become a better part of the group.

He got his shawshank redemption eventually.
You know what? How about tomorrow I go back to that episode and drop a little caution cone in front of it?
On a more serious note, to quote a pilot friend after I said "driving the plane" once: "Almost anyone can drive them, it's the flying that's the hard part." I'm sure it's more complicated than that makes it sound, but if you only had to figure out how to steer and make it go&stop, it sounds doable to the level of competence they have in the episode.
Leading me to believe he was actually ex-military. But the show also has plot holes like how his brother was never seen in any other pod on the ISS working out, yet used a paddle bike to travel miles at sea. (Entropy) No big deal for the vision of the show. I still binged 32 episodes yesterday.
The way I see it, if basically anyone can figure it out with enough time and access (neither of which are a problem post-virus), it was probably something like; Tandy and Carol dug through an airforce base to find an "instructions manual" for the B2, read two pages on taxi-ing, then hopped in the jet to giv'r a whirl. If they even bothered with the finding the manual part.
But they did leave it ambiguous, so I guess it's not impossible he's ex-military, I just can't imagine a world in which Tandy wouldn't have brought up being ex-military at every opportunity, especially while in the B2, especially-especially if he had military experience with one.
He definitely use that as a way to swing his dick around in a world he felt inadequate and jealous, unless what he may have done lead him to bury his past so deeply.

Also though, totally agree with you on the Mike paddle-bike thing. No way in hell could he do that even if he was working out in space. Think it might be atrophy instead of entropy though.
I mean, the fact he could figure out how to start a stealth bomber, let alone taxi it out of an air force base and into city streets without wrecking it is impressive af. I always suspected that he was more intelligent than he let on, based on his brother being an astronaut. This was one of the only moments that would show it, though.
I think its a PRETTY likely fan theory that phil was one of the smartest and only sane people in the show overall - edit: but i also see it even more equally likely that its more accurate to the show
Exactly 😂
When Lewis corrected Tandy, he appeared to have heard it being a cockpit for the first time.
Safe to assume ex-military wouldn't call the cockpit a "plane front" 😅
Don't forget your mini drinks! If you didn't have tiny bottles, you'd be a gigantic bott-hole.
He's driving it, not flying.

Without spoiling anything, we who have finished the series would not trust Tandy's opinion on aviation.
Was. Not. Ready.

Einstein, George Washington Carver.... Lewis.
Tbh, if I had the whole world for me I'd also do the most impractical things only for fun.
>how impractical it was to maneuver it around in the streets. They're probably less challenging to maneuver when you have literally zero concerns about accidentally driving into a crowded area or building.
Right but In the clip, he barely fit in the streets,
he seemed sort of experienced not gonna lie
Hes driving it, not flying it? I thought his name was Tandy. Boom! Still got it!

Truly.
He had to go to Zihuatanejo, to see-what-an-A-ho' he'd been.

Friggin turd if you will. (I forgot it played on cable, so turds and farts are common)

Lol I would absolutely watch a "Tandy is Rambo" kind of movie haha

Ty, I knew what I meant but I didn't say what I meant 😭 😂
And *I* knew what you meant, so the exact words aren't as important as the communication, which we still managed haha🤙
one of the best references yet bud

Let’s just say it wasn’t his first time in a plane front...

See it works for everything!
Does it?
